On posts that I access through my home instance, i.e. any post present in the “Your local instance” feed, nothing appears in the comments section apart from the message “There are no comments”, despite the UI suggesting that there are several.
When accessing the post’s permalink in the web UI of the instance, the comments show up without issue, even when logged in.
To reproduce, log in to sync with a lemm.ee account, switch to local feed and click on any post that appears to have comments. For example: https://lemm.ee/post/35476369
For some reason I haven’t been able to replicate this on any other instance (tried with .world and .ml, both of which don’t seem to have this issue)
this is probably somehow related to changes introduced somewhere in 0.19.4, I’ve been seeing this for months at this point, as we’ve been on a 0.19.4 pre-release relatively early due to done federation issues
Just tested and I’m not experiencing this issue.
For me it’s only happening on specific communities on my local instance, every post shows a comment count but I can’t see the comments.
Edit: it happens on local communities that I’m not subscribed to. The moment I subscribe the comments are visible.
The example I included was from my local instance in a community that I’m not subscribed to.
I’m getting this too.
